Mare Nostrum: The Mediterranean Basin as Wellspring of Human Endeavor, St. John Fisher College, Rochester, NY, March 13–14, 2020

Progenitor of both Western and Middle Eastern civilization, the Mediterranean basin has constituted a vital locus linking Europe, Africa, and Asia for millennia and has remained an important center of national and international interest, interaction, and multifaceted cross-pollination. Consequently, this conference will analyze the manifold dimensions of human endeavor centered around the Mediterranean, defined as the region extending from the western terminus of the Mediterranean Sea to the Euphrates Valley.
